Traffic Chaos Due to Accident in Lower Austria

The firefighting operation by the Grafenwörth Fire Department at a traffic accident on the S5 towards Krems, in the construction site area shortly after Fels/Wagram, proved to be extremely complicated.

The construction site is currently being converted to "single lane," making the formation of an emergency lane impossible. The main traffic at the start of the holidays is rolling in, and a car crashes right there into a guardrail and remains immobile on the lane.

Driver and Dog Uninjured in Traffic Accident in Lower Austria

"The nearby construction site workers react quickly, secure the accident site, and direct the traffic past as best as possible. An emergency vehicle from the Johanniter, which happened to arrive, also provides immediate first aid. Meanwhile, the Grafenwörth Fire Department fought its way through the kilometer-long traffic jam in both directions. A big THANK YOU at this point to the many, many car and truck drivers who thought along and made room for us as best as they could!" said spokesperson Manfred Ploiner. The driver and his dog remained uninjured. After recording the accident, the fire department set up a detour with the construction site security. The vehicle was quickly recovered with a crane and the car was taken to Grafenwörth. The driver and dog rode in the fire department vehicle. One hour after the operation began, operational readiness was restored.
